"We don’t need a group of Mummy’s boys who go into cardiac arrest when they are required to push buttons on a washing machine," — Tang Li, OPINION
Funnily enough, this wasn’t a one-off. On the flight out of Ho Chi Minh City, it was a young guy who did the pushing of the wheelchair. He ended up pushing several wheelchairs. Perhaps I’m just strange, but there has to be something fundamentally wrong when those of declining strength do the heavy lifting, whilst those who should be at the peak of their physical strength can’t lift a piece of paper without going into cardiac arrest.
In Singapore, the youth tend to be career-focused and money-minded, and then, as they get older, they realise that money isn’t everything, and they’re either more idealistic or perhaps resentful of the rat race. So, I am a living example of Singapore’s ageing in reverse. However, I ask myself if I’m just a freak of nature. Are our younger people as depressingly conservative and mainstream as I once was?

Digital-first approach crucial to customer-centricity: AIA SingaporeTechnology, data, and analytics, have become keys to personalisation of online and offline customer experiences.The coronavirus pandemic has turned the world on its head; and every industry on the planet has to innovate and come up with new ways of doing its business. Office-based workplaces have transitioned urgently into work-from-home arrangements; the retail sector has leveraged off of the global e-commerce ecosystem to continue getting goods to customers; and banks have ramped up their own innovations to stay connected with their stakeholders.In Singapore, maintaining the integrity of transactions as they rapidly take on digital forms has been a particular challenge. Fortunately, insurance provider AIA has implemented a new solution that it says is giving greater confidence and security to all of its customers. “Integrating our digital platforms with GovTech’s Sign with SingPass and Kofax’s SignDoc advances our ability to provide fast and even more convenient customer experiences without compromising their data security, which is essential in an increasingly digital world,” says Melita Teo, Chief Customer and Digital Officer at AIA Singapore.Sign with SingPass advantageAvailable to all AIA Singapore customers since November 2020, Sign with SingPass was an initiative spearheaded by the Government Technology Association (GovTech) in Singapore.
